EDIT: Just checked and found out there's 24 episode for this season's Accel World, not 12 like I had thought. I was pleasantly surprised.

It's 24 episodes but it's split into 2 12 episode seasons like Fate/zero and Horizon. The first 12 episode are this season that it will skip a season for SAO (with will be a split cour too) before coming back to Accel World.

You know....I really would like a short story featuring the aftermath between Cherry and Niko....Even though he didn't do much besides becoming posessed by the Disaster armour, that pairing was still damn sweet...

huh? SAO will take over AW's time slot by fall? but isn't SAO and AW have different studio working on them and should have different time slot and both 2 cour and not a split cour? is this confirmed split cour?

what's IS system? and who are those researcher guys? Thy are still players right? then they should be still around the age of Haru and the others.

Basically, going over to Dusk Taker's side to level up as fast as she can. Dusk Taker has SC's wings, and plus a armament cannon he can shoot from outside other's reach., So he has a near-perfect win rate.

After reaching Level 4, Lime Bell used her technique to reverse time on their avatars to the point DT never took SC's wings away. Back-stabbed DT right when if DT loses he'll be gone for good. Even went behind CP and SC's back to inform Black Lotus about this, when CP and SC didn't want to worry her. Lotus came back on time to see DT being defeated, and his ally (Black Vise) leaving him to be erased.

*initiates RANT*
LB's reasoning, I can understand. But FFFFFF- it if she she didn't act like a bitch. Telling Haru and Taku it's only natural she would want to team up with the guy that has the advantage? That she went over to DT on her own free will, even after DT had said to Haru earlier he's planning on capturing her and make her 'service' him (ie, not just in Accel World and implied RL 'services')? That she used Taku's guilty conscience with what he did earlier with the trojan/'backdoor' in her to twist the knife and make him back off?

BLOODY HELL. Dusk Taker is a absolute frakker that has none of my sympathy, but Lime Bell here really pissed me off as well. I understood her intentions, but that doesn't make me like it or her character...
*end RANT*

Not yet. The author has issues with writing romance past a certain point IMO... a new potential love interest gets added every arc , with relationship of earlier characters stalling >.<

This happens in both AW and SAO.

IS system has been covered in previous posts. The researcher people are also BB users, but some of them have been around since the very beginning, ie the 'pioneers'. Their first experiments is what twisted 'The Destiny' into 'The Disaster'.

[QUOTE=Aphrah;4121035]Ugh. Can you hear the sound of that? No? That's the sound of my hopes and expectations being shattered. I had a feeling that this would be the case for AW, but SAO too?

Well if you read the Sword Art Online:There is but one ultimate way side story on Baka-Tsuki there is some sorta ending. The translation came with this "Spoiler Warning This SS takes place after the conclusion of the Alicization arc, which will not be completed until around volume 15."

Ugh. Can you hear the sound of that? No? That's the sound of my hopes and expectations being shattered. I had a feeling that this would be the case for AW, but SAO too?

Spoiler for Kuroyukihime vol 01:

So even after she confesses and gets hit by the car, Haru still doesn't bother revealing how he feels about her?

Spoiler for Haruyuki's character throughout:

The biggest problem with Haruyuki is his low self esteem that never seems to improve. Whenever he deems himself failing to meet everyone's expectation, he runs away(V3,V8). This is the biggest reason why he never accepts anyone's confession. Then again, up to V10, there's only 2 people who did a full confession on him

Also, what is their level and do they have different ranks? Black Lotus mentioned that once you were 6/7 or 7/8 you have your own legion.

Does Sky Raker have a legion, and if so, is that legion part of Nega Neublas or just Sky Raker?

Do they talk about how the other Kings organize their legions?

Spoiler for Nega Nebula and other legions:

One thing to note is that the reason Nega Nebula was disbanded was not because of Black Lotus going against the other 6 kings.(They were pretty much prepared to go to war against others anyway) After Red Rider's death, they attempted to challenge the Forbidden Castle(Which is rumored to be another way to end the game instead of reaching lv10) guarded by 4 legendary monsters in unlimited burst stage.

You can't log out normally in unlimited burst, as you need to find the exit portal. And if you die, you are forced respawn in the same location an hour later. Which means that if you are killed by the monster, and you respawn an hour later with no one helping you, you get killed again. Repeat and rinse until you lose all BB points.(Known as Endless Kill mode). Hence, Nega Nebula used a program that allows them to force disconnect from the internet after a period of time, to prevent them from entering EK mode.(Which means this is a "What happens if we fail" plan). However, if you enter unlimited burst mode after you reconnect, you will end up back where the monster was, which means you're still screwed.

Nega's battle plan failed and as a last minute ditch, Sky Raker carried Black Lotus and flew out of the battle field before the forced disconnection. However, the rest could not fly and were stucked in EK after the forced disconnection. With most of the legion stuck in EK mode, Nega Nebula had to disband and Black Lotus went into hiding.

Regarding the legions, as mentioned, the official way to join a legion is to sign a contact with the king. How they handle recruitment is not mentioned, but Great Wall's Grand Grande(Green King) seems to allow anyone to join and does not interfere with his member's activities. Of course the King's personality and charisma would also affect who joins which Legion. Blue and Green seems to attract mostly guys and repels girls from joining("Smelly melee avatars").

Sky Raker is Lotus' lieutenant, the 2nd in command of the Nega Nebulas Legion. Other King's lieutenants tend to be high level as well, with Green Grande's 'Six-Layered Armour' (equivalent to Nega's Four Elements in leadership roles) having Level 7-8s, one of them, 3rd Seat, being Iron Pound.

Spoiler for Kuroyukihime vol 01:

Spoiler:

He has never came out and said he loves KYH. He feels she's the most important person in his life, but it's arguably (emphasis needed) mostly admiration (as Burst Linkers, as someone that helped him, etc) and not love. Haru feels KYH is so far above him her being in love with him just seems so unreal, unbelievable.

Then comes Vol9 with someone else confessing to him, not through a cabled communication but honest, RL verbal communication, from someone that's more-or-less on equal standing to him and not placed high on a pedestal like he does with KYH... well, he didn't reply to the confession but he did get flustered like a teenage guy. Basically, more of a reaction than what he has ever shown Chiyu and only second to what he's shown to react to KYH.

The girl that made the 2nd confession?

Spoiler for MAJOR SPOILER:

Ash Roller. Yep, you heard me, that biker guy is actually a girl IRL. Shrinking Violet kind of girl too She got the male, Biker avatar due to installing BB on the Neuro Linker of her hospitalized brother that's in a coma, who's been diagnosed as 'probably never regaining consciousness ever again'. That Neuro Linker is supposed to be a memento of her brother's. Not quite Ghost in the Shell, but that's one way of seeing this...

She likes Haru too BTW....and yeah...confesses with that crying face....then when you consider how Chrome Disaster Haru was going to destroy her in vol 9....

I am assuming its a legit side story

Spoiler:

There was a post in SAO thread about this side story and that author write in his twitter that it's not canon. So no need to worry about SAO

who is aluminum valkyrie in the side story manga?
her normal form is a black hair girl with fighter gloves who is good at fighting, she looks like shana.
she just became my favorite person and was wondering if she appear in the
novel yet?

Nope, she does not appear in the novel yet. Apparantly I didn't know that side story exists until now. Thanks for informing!

Haru's harem, as compared to Kirito's harem is considered small(Only 2 girls AW romantically as compared to all female chars in SAO). So no, Sky Raker is not part of his harem. Reason for her appearing in LN illustration is that she is the only one out of everyone in the legion who can tease KYH.

BTW

Spoiler for Question:

Aqua current is a lev 1 so how can she/he enters the unlimited burst mode ?

what is Sky Raker's ICBM, don't tell me she slam into other using her rocket from the end of the map .

So Burst Link uninstall also removed memories, now I understand how Violet King hate Black Lotus , she lose here lover in RL too

It is believed that Aqua Current lost her levels at the Forbidden Castle(Green Dragon's level absorb ability)(not yet confirmed though)
Sky Raker's ICBM strategy is using her jetpack to skip all the melees at the front and hit the range at the back. Or even worse, drop a fully charged up Ardor Maiden at the back of the enemy lines.
